3: Submit Your Entry Form
If you are submitting LESS THAN 5 DNA samples please complete the Online Submission Form found at the end of this page – one entry per animal – to ensure we match your payment and sample correctly.
If you are submitting MORE THAN 5 DNA samples, then you may fill out your information using the Excel DNA Submission Form and send a copy via email as an Excel or Google Sheet file with permissions removed to crystal@legacyregistries.com
Flock54 no longer accepts handwritten submissions.
4: The VBSS Will ONLY accept TSU’s:
TSU samples ONLY. Do not send hair, blood, semen, tail docks, or ear notch samples as they will be rejected. Results are typically available in 2-4 weeks.
Submission Form Instructions:
You will notice a column labelled “BDI#”. BDI#s are unique numbers assigned by the lab to each sample submitted for DNA testing.
NOTE: You will not have a BDI# for animals that have not been submitted previously for DNA testing.
For animals who have been submitted for DNA testing previously, you can find their BDI# on your results spreadsheet. In addition, the VBSS Registrar has been entering BDI#s into our Grassroots Registry. You can search for them using the animal's name and/or Tag number.
